Over the last 10 years, extensive research has been performed to evaluate the compatibility of engineering materials and model alloys in multicomponent gas environments that are relevant to various coal gasification schemes. This paper examines the available information to give insight into the development of protective scales on alloy surfaces and causes of scale breakdown. In addition, the available long-term kinetic data on sound-metal loss are examined to evaluate the effects of alloy and gas chemistry on corrosion of materials in coal gasification atmospheres.
